Title - Vizag-bound trains to stop at Lingampalli

Hyderabad: People living near Hi-Tec City, Gachibowli and Madhapur have reason to cheer as those bound for Visakhapatnam or Mumbai will soon be able to board their trains at the Lingampalli railway station. Currently, travellers have to go all the way to the Secunderabad station to board the Gowthami or Godavari Express.
    As per the recently launched time table, South Central Railway (SCR) will be providing additional stoppage at Lingampally station for the soon-to-be launched Mumbai Lokamanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) -Visakhapatnam and Kakinada-LTT express trains. Apart from these, SCR will provide additional stoppages at Falaknuma and Malkajgiri to eight new trains announced in this year’s budget. The Jabalpur-Yeshwanthpur Express, Yeshwanthpur-Lucknow Express and Madras-Nagersol Express will be provided stoppage at Malkajigiri. This is expected to benefit people travelling south or north of the state.
    Presently, only 10 popular express trains passing through the city have been provided stoppages at Begumpet and Lingampalli. The intercity express between Secunderabad and Kurnool, which was flagged off recently, has been provided stoppage at Falaknuma. This is expected to benefit passengers from Old City travelling towards Rayalseema. Officials also feel that this would decongest the Secunderabad station.
